Toyota Supra generations & buyer's guide
7 Toyota Supra listings for sale →The Toyota Supra ran across four generations from 1978 to 2002, with a fifth generation launched in 2019 as a joint-development project with BMW. The A60 (1981–1986) and A70 (1986–1993) used inline-six engines (5M-GE, 7M-GE/7M-GTE) shared with the Soarer. The A80 (1993–2002) introduced the 2JZ engine family — the 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo producing 280 PS JDM-spec and 320 PS in some markets. The 2JZ-GTE became a reference engine for high-power builds due to its forged internals and torque capacity beyond 1,000 hp with supporting modifications. The A80 is the most exported generation and is the primary driver of import demand for the Supra nameplate. All A80 Supras were produced in Japan; the 2019 A90 is manufactured in Austria.
